I keep forgetting to tell you all that I have set up a Facebook Page. I am working out again how to create a new button to match my other ones on the side so it will be up their soon but in the mean time the link is https://www.facebook.com/beingalice92 so please go and check it out and like my page to keep all up to date with this blog, instagram and other daily posts.

This morning as I was cleaning my brushes I thought why don't I write a post about this and what brushes I use. So I am. This is just going to be a short post about the brushes I own and how I clean them. Also, sorry for the iPhone photos. Very last minute decision on the blog post writing.

As you can tell I absolutely adore the Real Techniques Brushes. I just think they are a great quality and affordable brush that get the job done really well in terms of applying and blending makeup.

From the colour of the water you can tell that my brushes desperately needed a clean. To clean them I get bowl of warm water (I replaced the water 3 or 4 times to clean all of the brushes) and I use the Pantene Classic Clean Shampoo. I dip the brush into the water then squirt a little bit of shampoo onto the top of my brush or my hand and swirl it around until you can see the water/bubbles from the shampoo are coming out completely clear. I also sometimes just wash the brush under the running water to see if the brush is clear. Then I just leave them to dry on a tea towel until they are completely dry and that's it!

Feel free to share your tips on how you clean our brushes and I would love to get some recommendations on your favourite makeup brushes or tools.
